Trump 2nd term live updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

President Donald Trump made good on his threats to impose tariffs on some of the U.S.'s trading partners, announcing Saturday that he will levy 25% tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico and 10% on Chinese goods.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's plans for a potential second term, focusing on his intention to use executive actions extensively. Trump has expressed intentions to enact policies through executive orders, bypassing Congress where possible, to quickly implement his agenda. Key points include his plans to address immigration by reinstating and expanding travel bans, potentially targeting more countries, and implementing stricter border control measures. Additionally, Trump aims to undo many of the Biden administration's policies, particularly those related to climate change, by promoting fossil fuel production and reducing environmental regulations. He also plans to take aggressive actions against what he perceives as the "deep state," including restructuring the federal bureaucracy to align more closely with his political views. This approach reflects his strategy to govern with less legislative cooperation, leveraging the executive branch's power to fulfill campaign promises and enact his vision for America.
